jacjac3Dec 31, 2013
I got a breast augmentation done about five months ago. 500ccs silicone, under the muscle. I knew working out would be difficult but now, after my workouts, Im in tremendous amounts pain. After the surgery I never felt enough pain to take the prescribed pain killers, but now after any chest workout they hurt so bad i started taking the pain killers. everyone tells me the implants shouldn't give me problems working out, makes me feel like I'm being a baby. what is going on and how do i fix it help!!
